Not only Negroes and Jews, but also women are part of a great revolt of which one can only approve.

Life is always full of dangers and I don't think one should avoid dangers.

I had recently had the impression they were changing - not so much by becoming less pro-Pakistan as by becoming less anti-India. I was wrong. My visit to [Richard] Nixon did anything but avert the war.

The doctors advised me not to have even one. My health was still not good, and they said that pregnancy might be fatal. If they hadn't said that to me, maybe I wouldn't have got married. But that diagnosis provoked me, it infuriated me. I answered, 'Why do you think I'm getting married if not to have children? I don't want to hear that I can't have children; I want you to tell me what I have to do in order to have children!'

I think one should do what seems right. And if what seems right involves danger...well, one must risk the danger.

My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.

It has been my experience that people who are at cross-purposes with nature are cynical about mankind and ill at ease with themselves.
